Whale Watching Trips to Stellwagen Bank Marine Sanctuary. Guaranteed sightings!
Description
Guaranteed Sightings! 7 Seas Whale Watch is located in the heart of historic downtown Gloucester, MA and in one of the busiest parts of Gloucester harbor. As soon as you board the Privateer you will be surrounded by the sights and sounds of Gloucester’s working waterfront. You may see fishing boats unloading fish, lobster men baiting and setting their traps, and perhaps even some of our indigenous wildlife such as Harbor seals, Gray seals, and various species of birds. The tour begins with a harbor tour of Gloucester Harbor starting with Cape Pond Ice (which most of you have seen on Wicked Tuna and ends at the Dog Bar Breakwater. A typical trip is anywhere from 3-4 hours but may be extended if the whales move further out for feed. The Privateer IV was built for 300 passengers but we only book to 150 to ensure the comfort and safety of our passengers and is equipped with restrooms, and on-board food Galley and bar.

Absolutely fabulous experience. Saw tons of whales and the naturalist was very informative. All the crew were really friendly and the ship was spotless. Snacks and drinks at the snack bar were excellent and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend this excursion!
7 Seas offers a lovely time out on the ocean seeing wondrous marine life up close with a knowledgeable guide and a kind, helpful crew. We had a fun four-hour family adventure that we'll remember and be talking about for years to come.
It was incredible! Numerous sightings of humpback whales playing near the boat. Fin slapping, rolling, and breaching. Our guide was excellent in providing information about the whales, their behavior and all that we observed. Thank you Seven Seas for giving us memories of a lifetime!
Fantastic! Better and less expensive than going out from Boston. Saw multiple whales and the crew was amazing. Definitely going again.
This was an awesome experience.
An absolutely fabulous excursion. We saw multiple whales, including a mom and youngster, we got to see 2 whales breech at the same time, one of those whales did a full rollover. The captain was very informative, the expert on board did a wonderful job, it was a trip of a lifetime!
We saw 5 whales out today. The only thing that wasn't pleasant was the strong waves that made the boat rocky. Other than that the crew was great. I would recommend
Saw a lot of whales crew was very helpful over all I would highly recommend them this trip. Made our day
This was a great experience! The boat wasn’t jammed packed and there was plenty of room to move around. The Naturalist was very knowledgeable and shared fun facts. We saw dolphins and whales and had plenty of opportunities to take pictures and videos of them. It was a little chilly even in July on the water. We brought light jackets and were fine.
The most amazing wildlife encounter ever. Do you want to see whales? Go see some whales.
